OPTIMISE YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR YOUR NEXT RACE

TRIATHLETE PERFORMANCE PROTOCOLS

The Triathlete Performance Protocols are specially designed testing protocols that assess and enhance the key variables important for Triathlete performance - strength, movement proficiency, function, fatigue and cardiovascular fitness.

Our team uses the technologies and strategies used from elite sport to help you achieve your goals, improve key athletic qualities and help you get ready for your next event in prime condition.

Our Triathlete Performance Protocols are designed to assess the key qualities required for optimal triathlete performance. Our protocols are:

STRENGTH & POWER TESTING - Become Stronger!
Our strength & power testing protocol include a variety of key tests that are indicative of performance for all elements of a triathlon. We use gyroscope and accelerometer technology to gain key data variables that inform programming and monitoring. We also assess key injury risk areas based on your injury history to minimise the risk of injury.

MOVEMENT PROFICIENCY & MOBILITY TESTING - Move Better & Smoother!

Our movement proficiency & mobility protocol assesses the key movement patterns involved in running, swim and bike performance. Your mobility is tested to gain valuable data metrics on any restrictions that may be limiting your performance. This facilitates specific programming that addresses these areas to ensure you move better, without restrictions.

RUNNING GAIT ANALYSIS TESTING - Enhance Running Efficiency & Stop those Niggles!

Our running gait analysis testing protocol uses gyroscope technology and video analysis software to identify the areas of your running performance that may limit your efficiency, increase shock loads and ultimately reduce performance. Our data-driven approach allows for key interventions that address running gait deviations identified to help your become more efficient on your running leg.

VO2 MAX TESTING - Maximise your Cardiovascular Aerobic Fitness!
Our VO2 max testing protocol uses the gold standard VO2 Master device to gain key ventilation data to understand your VO2 max, an important metric for understanding your cardiovascular fitness. Testing also provides key information in relation to your training zones, facilitating specific training strategies to train the key areas of your fitness important for triathlon performance.

LACTATE THRESHOLD / PACE SETTING TESTING - Train Better & Smarter!
Our lactate threshold testing protocol is designed to gain key data on how you accumulate lactate during various exercise intensities along with your ability to remove lactate. Data obtained allows for specific training at key intensity zones to improve performance at key threshold intensities, improving your lactate threshold and allowing you to perform better for longer. It also allows for insights into your pace setting zones to predict and improve race time performance.

Our Triathlete Performance Protocols are suitable for a wide variety of individuals:

  • Those looking to get started on their triathlon ​journey
  • Those who have struggled with injuries that limit their triathlon performance
  • Seasoned triathlon athletes looking to gain data-driven insights into their performance
  • Older aged triathlon athletes looking to enhance performance in the future

Choosing TESTING AT GymTherapy means you will benefit from:

  • Experienced insights into your strength, balance, mobility, fitness and injury prevention
  • Data-driven insights into your health and performance
  • Specific testing and monitoring using contemporary technology
  • Personalised program recommendations specific to your needs and goals
  • A collaborative approach to ensure you receive the service you need

We gain data during our protocols on a variety of metrics important for triathlon performance:

  • Motor Control: Described as the initiation, grading, and regulation of movement involving the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
  • Strength Capacity: Also described as strength endurance, capacity measurements and programming assist in improving fatigue resistance of muscles.
  • VO2 Max: Is a measure of the body's capacity to maximally uptake oxygen from the environment and use it in skeletal muscle during intense full-body exercise (maximal oxygen consumption). It is considered the gold-standard measurement for cardiorespiratory fitness
  • Lactate Threshold: Described as the point at which lactate is produced and accumulates in the blood at a faster rate than it can be removed, leading to anaerobic fatigue.
  • Running Gait Deviations: A variety of deviations may be present during the running gait cycle that contribute to reduced efficiency, performance and increased injury risk. These are assessed through our IMU and video analysis technology.
  • Ventilatory Thresholds: Describes the relationship between physical exertion and ventilation. During VO2 Max testing, two key ventilatory thresholds (VT1 & VT2) are identified, which allows for specific training recommendations that improve these values moving forward.
